The Armenian Ministry of Emergency Situations and the UN Development
Programme initiated a discussion today on issues of reducing disaster
risks. The event featured representatives of different agencies,
international organizations and research institutes.
Secretary of the National Security Council of Armenia Arthur
Baghdasaryan attached importance to the development of the national
platform of reducing disaster risks, since Armenia is situated in a
seismically hazardous region.
According to Arthur Baghdasaryan, today we are trying to heal the
wounds of the 1988 earthquake that claimed the lives of thousands of
people and caused over $14 billion harm to the country.
"Therefore, we must be able to establish an effective system of
reduction and management of disaster risks that will help the state
protect its citizens, since it is the number one task of any state,"
he said.
"The formation of the system of reduction of disaster risks is not only
of economic, ecological and social importune. It's also directly linked
to the stable development of the country," Arthur Baghdasaryan added.
